Excited, anxious, nervous, anticipating. These words completely describe how I feel with 8 weeks to go. This pregnancy definitely feels like it’s gone by faster. And in many ways I’m grateful and can’t complain. But I know I’ll blink and she’ll already be a few months old.
So far my GD (gestational diabetes) with the help of God, hasn’t been as hard to manage as I thought, and really I’ve gotten pretty used to poling my finger 4 times a day. (Shocking, coming from a teen who hated needles). Lol
But we are all so excited about meeting our girl. Hudson knows now that mama has a baby in her tummy. And oftentimes when he sees one out and about he’ll point to them and then to my belly and say “baby”. It’s precious.
The transition is probably what I’m most nervous about. 0-1 was a big adjustment for me, but I can’t help but wonder, what 1-2 will be like this time around. Part of me is excited about how much my heart is in this, but I do struggle with foreseeing what my recovery will be like with Felicity, after a rough round with Hudson and for this I need to pray.
I’m grateful more then anything, that this is the season we’re in. I’ve been soaking up all the last bits of time with Hudson. Keeping photographic memory of what it’s like with just me and my boy.
And part of me sees it as bittersweet. But I know my heart and time is big enough for 2 sweet children.
Children are such a blessing. And God created such a beautiful picture with families/homes filled with Him and His goodness towards us.
As I close this update, I’m reminded of how time is fleeting but a gift. One we can choose to unwrap or pass by. It’s beautiful but intimidating. Kind but not to be taking advantage of.
Our hearts are ready for you miss Felicity!❤️
Xoxo, Shantel
